Free Look-Ups for Dublin, Ireland

[kated]

Hi Ju,

I would look first for the Spain surname in the Griffiths valuation and then in Dublin directories. Check my website for some useful links.

Hi Paul,

What exactly are you looking for? You could check the Dublin directories for Thomas Eager as a cycle mechanic/ race driver. Do you want to search back generations? Do you have birth, marriage and death certificates?

Regards

Kate

Hi Kate,
I have my parents birth, marriage and death certs. I would like to find info on my grandparents or their other children. 
In my first post, I mentioned all that I know, as my mother died when I was so young, and there was no correspondence with her family after that. I have no family stories that I heard. So looking at records and hopefully finding some extended relations will fill in the huge gaps!
Cheers,
Paul Dunham

Hi Catherine.... what a fantastic offer.
I have hit a very big brick wall so am not even going to be specific. ANY info on any CROWDER  would be great.
I have a William CROWDER, (married to Hannah PARKER dob abt 1811 Ireland) in the 1851 census in Macclesfield, Cheshire gave his place of birth as Ireland (prob abt 1806). There were a few other CROWDER families in Macc. at that time with all the older members of the families giving their place of birth as Dublin
That is the total amount of info I have apart from his occipation which was weaver.
any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Sarah,

I bet that the name started out as Crowther and was transcribed in 1851 as
Crowder for reasons of accent both Irish and Macclesfield. There are 3
Crowther families in Dublin 1850 directory

Charles, 9 Prince William Terrace (coach maker)
Elizabeth, 101 Townsend St (toy warehouse)-spelt Crothers in street listing
Thomas, 1 Prince William terrace, Grand Canal St (ship agent)-spelt Crothers
in general listing

Did any other later census or certificate give a better address?

Thanks for that Kate (that's my daughter's name also) I had been told that the name might be Crouder in the US as fo some reason the CROWDER name needed to be hidden??!
 I think I had better give you all I know then we can go from there.

William CROWDER dob 1806-13 (depending on census info or death cert info) born Ireland. 1851 Census Hand Loom Silk Weaver. Died 9th Aug 1865 aged 65 of Typhus Fever 21 days certified. Occ Silk Weaver
Wife
Hannah PARKER  dob 1811-1815 Ireland died 17 Aug 1852 aged 36, Inflammation 3 days Certified.
Children
  1) Harried dob 14 Jan 1842 Macclesfield
  2) William dob 17 Feb 1844 Macc. Died 9 Nov 1847
  3) John dob 22 Nov 1846  Sutton Nr Macc
  2) James dob 28 Dec 1848 Macc. Died 12 July 1916 Chorton-cum-Hardy Nr Manchester (my g grandfather)

I have searched through the 1841 Census literally person by person but they are not here then.
As I said there are several CROWDER families in Macc at that time (almost died out/moved on now). The spelling of the name is consistant.
Many thanks for getting this far. Any help is much appreciated!!

I had maybe better mention that I have found CROWDER's in the IGI for Macclesfield and within 5 miles of Macc in every century back to the 1500's.

Kate, this is the info I have and I am not even sure if my family was from Dublin.  Know they were from Ireland and family says Co. Cork but I figure it doesn't hurt to look Everywhere when given a chance to.                                  Mary/Maria J. Salmon (b) 1804-1816 (m) either a Dwyer Or a John Jenkins about 1832/33 as her first child was (b) ca. 1833/34.  This child went by Jenkins but may have been Her son by Dwyer.  She is listed on all records in U.S. as a Dwyer Except on the church burial records it says "Born Salmon" so I now know she had to have been (m) to a Dwyer before she (m) Jenkins.  The second child was 5 years younger then the first , that is why I think the first was hers by Dwyer.  When she (m) Jenkins she may have (m) him as Dwyer or Salmon.    If the first child was Dwyer's and the second Jenkins' then she (m) Jenkins ca. 1837/38 and Dwyer Ca. 1832/33.   John Jenkins (b) 1797-1817 was the husband she came with to U.S. during potato famine with kids John, Charles, Ralph and maybe Eliza A.(Alice?)  (That is Eliza, Not Elizabeth) All kids (b) 1832 to 1843 , with Eliza being the youngest and maybe (b) after they left Ire. They may have come via Canada and were In U.S. for the 1850 census so the only census that would help is 1841.  Maybe you can find Something about the marriages or kids births?   Anything would help as I am at a brick wall to high to climb here.                 Thank You very much in advance even if you can't find anything.           Leagen

Hi Catherine

I'm an Aussie looking for ancestors in Ireland.  My gggrandfather Joseph Huband Smith was a barrister, his wife Catherine Cecilia (nee Jephson) - I have two addresses for them, 2 Holles St (maybe 1820s/30s) and Howth, later.  They married in 1835 and may have been associated with the parish of St Nicholas Without. 

My g-grandfather Edmund H S was born in 1837.  I am very keen to find out about any siblings he may have had, and also death details for Joseph and Catherine.  He died c. 1882, she died later. 

Maybe with the 1851 directory and parish records you could find something for me.  I'd be eternally grateful!  It's difficult doing this from the other side of the world!
